Subject: how to read parse data from two file to generate one one file

#!/usr/bin/ruby

ARGF.each do |line|
    sunetid, tmp, uid, gid, name, homedir, shell = line.split(/\:/)
    puts "    user { \"" + sunetid + "\":"
    puts "        ensure  => \"present\","
    puts "        uid     => \"" + uid + "\","
    puts "        gid     => \"" + gid + "\","
    puts "        comment => \"" + name + "\","
    puts "        home    => \"" + homedir + "\","
    puts "        shell   => \"" + shell.chomp + "\","
    puts "    }"
    puts ""
end

This file take the a password file and generate some output per user.

How do I feed it passwd and shadow files and generate
a file per user with another key => value like password => 'hashkey
from shadow'
along with the key => value then it already generates?


So instead of the current output like

    user { "dbbkp":
        ensure  => "present",
        uid     => "12346",
        gid     => "70006",
        comment => "DB Backup User - See rsync in cron",
        home    => "/home/dbbkp",
        shell   => "/usr/local/bin/bash",
    }

I want it to generate an output like this

       user { "dbbkp":
        ensure  => "present",
        uid     => "12346",
        gid     => "70006",
        shadow => "iaUGiJld2XMKM"  # it will get that value from shadow file
        comment => "DB Backup User - See rsync in cron",
        home    => "/home/dbbkp",
        shell   => "/usr/local/bin/bash",
    }

here passwd file entry looks like this

dbbkp:x:12346:70006:DB Backup User - See rsync in
cron:/home/dbbkp:/usr/local/bin/bash

and shadow file entry looks like this

dbbkp:iaUGiJld2XMKM:::::::

Thanks for the help
